Summary: OUTDATED
Comment: This would be a phenominal kit if it still applied to the test offered. I didn't realize that the test was updated last year making this book largely obselete. I would say about 75-80% of this book still applies, but not enough to net a passing score as I found out the hard way. I did all the flash cards and practice questions until I got them all 100%. Unfortunately I was only about 3 wrong answers away from passing.

It seems that they've put a lot more weight on the networking side, particularly wireless. If you plan on self-study, make sure you're getting a book that's been updated for the 2007 test. I would almost call this false advertising because it states that it was published in 2007, on the box it says for the 2006 candidate though. I would recommend this guide if/when they update it.

Summary: A+ 2006 Edition
Comment: This book is for the 2006 Edition exam for A+ certification, but on June 1st of every year the test becomes the exam that covers 2007 Edition material. Now granted some of the material is the same but it was not enough to pass either the 601 or 603 (Essentials and Remote Tech) exams. Unfortunately now I have to pay another $168 to retake each of these exam. So before you buy books for certifications, make sure you know what edition exam you are taking and what edition the books you are purchasing are because I have wasted alot of money on not just this book, but many others.

Summary: I passed the exams on Aug 19 th 2008
Comment: Theese books rock! I bought the cert. library a few months ago and I passed just by using the main book! The Fast Passed is a stripped down version of the main one. I did not use the Street Smarts book.

The book is very comprehensive, but you will need the practice exams (Que A+ practice exams, 2008 ed). For the A+ Essentials, I found a lot of questions from the Que books!!

Even though English is not my native language, I passed mainly using the Emett Dulaney book! (Yes, I had to read the book 7-8 times).

Thanks guys, the book is excellent!

PS: To pass, make sure you read each chapter many times!

Summary: Worth the money!
Comment: I have been working on computers from 1996, from old 8088's with Dos 3.2 to latest with XP (except ME and VISTA!). But I have no degree; only been doing it on my own, fixing ALOT of people's computers. This book is very well written, with sample tests at the end of each chapters and 2 CD's with flash cards and more exams. Highly Recommended!

Summary: Great study guide but...
Comment: ...it seems a bit outdated. Even though the publish date is 2006 it talks about the industry as it was in 2003... and that is the latest!
Don't get me wrong, this collection is extremely informative and helpful but it seems like the writer(s) didn't think technology was ever going to progress after they wrote it. I'll give you some examples that I can think of...
"AGP video cards are gaining in popularity"... seriously? This cram book mentions PCI-express... though it is VERY brief.
"The largest size for flash drives is 2gb"... wow this just seriously dates this book. Why did they write it like that?
"HDMi uses a D-shaped connector very similar to DVI"... we all know what HDMI connectors look like nowadays.
And I'm only about 1/3rd of the way through the cram book.

On the plus side, this collection is EXTREMELY informative in breaking down the A+ exam and showing you what you need to know. That is why I find it so helpful. I know how technology has changed but I'm not too familiar with slightly older architecture and other things that are sure to be on the test.

Oh, I have another complaint. The "practice tests" on the CD are good... once. There are about 4 tests and probably 100 questions. I assumed that it had a few hundred or more questions in there "test engine" and it gave you a random 50 for the practice test. WRONG. Same questions same answer choices in the same pattern EVERY TIME! And to make it worse, even though there are 4 test choices, there are really only two tests. The last three use pretty much the same test.

It still gets 4/5 for such a wonderful breakdown of what you need to know for the test. :)
